This Bard stacking thing needs to be dealt with

[Mikedizzy]

There is just no reason to bring in a Monk or Dragoon over a Bard at this point.

Another reason for this, is the game did not launch with natural raid progression, which only compounds the issue. We are using gear a tier below what should be worn in Binding Coil (aka we should have iLVL 80 gear from Crystal Tower, instead of the 70 Darklight gear.).

For veterans of the MMO genre, they know that melee almost always get the shaft compared to ranged, however it is much more noticeable in this game.

This guys group on here is running Monk and says they are doing fine...why are you so angry then? They are getting it done. It may not be net, net best but it is working and therefore doable...if you are playing with jerks that are min/max bias then maybe switch who you are playing with and play with a party that will be more open to party organization.
